Measurement of deep inelastic electron scattering from polarized nucleon targets will be carried out at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). These data will provide detailed information on the quark spin structure of the nucleon and test our understanding of the nucleon, as well as our understanding of the fundamental theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics. Also proposed are future experiments on the electroproduction of charmed mesons to study the gluon spin structure function. The proposed experiments are of very high scientific interest, and the American University group plays an essential role in the experimental effort. The experiments also provide a training ground at the forefront of basic research for graduate and undergraduate students.

将在斯坦福直线加速器（SLAC）上对极化核子靶的深度非弹性电子散射进行测量。这些数据将提供关于核子的夸克自旋结构的详细信息，并测试我们对核子的理解，以及我们对强相互作用的基本理论——量子色动力学的理解。此外，还提出了今后用粲介子产生电来研究胶子自旋结构函数的实验。拟议的实验具有很高的科学价值，美国大学小组在实验工作中起着至关重要的作用。这些实验也为研究生和本科生在基础研究的前沿提供了一个训练场地。
